·Hi OF! Hope you are all well
I have a Seamaster ref 14700 for consideration I would love to get your opinions on this one.
My own evaluation of it is as follows:
It is a ref. 14700 (gold capped version of ref. 14701) with cal. 562 and the serial number dates it to 1961.
So far as condition is concerned the dial is original although it has some dial spotting.
The hands are original but maybe worn?
The case appears not to be polished (I can see chamfered edges on the lugs) but it is quite worn though (due to the age of the watch?)
The crown is probably Omega generic.
The seller cannot confirm if the crystal is original (says he cant see the logo on crystal) so I am assuming it is generic.
The movement is okay (the pictures were taken at the watchmaker before cleaning). The watchmaker cleaned and oiled it since.
The bracelet is Omega but not original to the case I do not think.
The price asked is $327.

Photos not the best (incoming from the seller)
I have not purchased. Please your candid opinions are most welcome
Thank you
